Vallarino
Vallarino















FISM winner Jean-Pierre Vallarino has spent decades creating some of the most poetic, visual, and entertaining close-up magic the world has ever seen. Yet his genius has been sometimes overlooked because his greatest works have never been available in one place. That all changes today with Vallarino, a luxurious, beautiful, oversized, 300+ page hardcover book featuring some of the most incredible close-up magic we’ve ever seen.
This is one of the strongest collections of practical, powerful close-up material ever offered in one book. Especially when you consider that, for the first time, Jean-Pierre is sharing the greatest secrets from his award-winning FISM act—including the opening coin routine and spectacular Ace productions that helped secure his well-deserved award in Micro Magic.
In total, you’ll get more than 60 audience-tested routines that Jean-Pierre has performed around the world for decades. This includes entire chapters dedicated to classic plots from Ace Assemblies to Sandwich Routines, Collectors, and more. You’ll love his “Triple Travel” routine, a similar style effect to Chad Long’s “Back and Forth”, and “Visual Lift,” the perfect finale to any Ambitious Card routine. And his four-coin production from his FISM act needs to be seen to be believed.
Those who enjoy learning original moves will be glad to know that 25 innovative sleights are also included in Vallarino. You’ll get an exclusive look at the proper way to handle his Rumba Count, as well as an in-depth exploration of Vallarino’s iconic tabled shuffle work, his unique and practical palming techniques and so much more.
Vallarino is our most lavishly-photographed book to date, featuring more than two thousand photographs expertly taken by Sophie Duval. Combined with superb descriptions from one of our favorite writers, the extremely talented John Lovick, it is a true delight to read.
Exclusive Bonus
As a special bonus only available to those who purchase through Vanishing Inc., you’ll also receive access exclusive performance videos of Vallarino himself performing most of his magic from the book. They’ll be added directly to your Vanishing Inc. account.
There’s not another book we can think of that contains so much visual, amazing coin and card magic. Vallarino will keep you busy for years. We’re so honored for the chance to help cement the legacy of this legendary magician.

The variety of effects is amazing.
You will want this book.
This book I feel is worth every penny !
I think I will be a master after reading this
The clear explanation, the short chapters and big amounts of photos, just perfect for me as a non English native speaker. The videos are very helpful too.
The amount of material will keep me busy for months, most probably years.
Well done, highly recommended!
The book is also beautiful! and looks great on my working table! The photos detailing the choreography are excellent and augment the text descriptions to help you quickly learn the mechanics (followed by practice of course!) ( I did note one missing photo but it really wasn't essential).
This book is going to be a joy to work through!
Maybe I don't know what I am talking about, so...look at the long list of "excellent" ratings from other magicians. Not all those people can be wrong.
Get it.
As I perused through this tome, I was pleased with the quality of the content material. Well-written explanations with full-color photos to guide you through the methodology. I was also surprised to discover, along with my purchase from Vanishing Inc., it included downloadable videos of JP Vallarino performing an effect or sleight from this book.
If you're a serious card magic person or book collector, this is one for you to learn from and to admire among your magic library.
I feel privileged to have this tome in my hands.
The fact that this book even exists is magic itself!
This is a masterpiece and a must buy!

I am french, and I am a fan of Vallarino's magic.
I have seen a lots of his lectures, and his moves are very poetic.
I am one of the authors of his french book "Mélodies" and it was fantastic for me to describe his routines (in the french book "mélodies").
This english book "Vallarino " is very complete, with a lot of moves and routines for everybody.
One of my favorite english book.

John asks: How do I access the videos? Great book … wow, this will keep me busy all winter. John_oleson@comcast.net
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Please email us at Wizards@vanishingincmagic.com and we can look into your query
Pak Ling asks: Hi, I would like to buy a physical copy of this book but it is out of stock now, will it be getting reprinted and restocked soon in the future?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes, sadly our remaining copies were burned in our warehouse fire. It will possibly be reprinted, but in the meantime, you could snag yourself the ebook at 50% off.
Jeff asks: How/where do I write a review for this book?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:At the top of the review section, there's a big orange button that says "Write a Review". If you get stuck, our Support Wizards will be happy to help, drop them a line - wizards@vanishingincmagic.com
David asks: Roughly, what percent of the card tricks are done with ungimmicked cards? thank you Dave
- 1. Cole responds:It is a variety. I don't know the percentage.
David asks: More of a comment/compliment about your respect and dedication to the magic community. Cornella (France) described your offer as "disgraceful" and you extended the courtesy of offering a way out for him/her. Cornella chose to go to another dealer (to save money) and has the nerve to complain to you that you should honor your commitment to your customers (which Cornella is not) for the video access. See if Cornella can buy at Costco and redeem a Sam's Club coupon. If you bend for Cornella, you punish those that play by the rules. You owe it to your loyal customers to mean what you say. Cornella discounted the value of the video access and went cheap and thinks he/she still deserves first class. You folks have always shown class; it's a shame some don't appreciate what you have offered. Thank you for being you.
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:We appreciate that and thank you for being you and writing the kind words.
Laurent asks: As I live in France, I bought the book in my usual french magic bookstore (Magic Dream). To have access to the videos, I should have bought the book directly from the UK. In that case I would have had to pay in GBP (thus adding to the price the bank charge to convert from euros to GBP) plus have to pay for the delivery from UK to France (not a small amount). In any case it would have substantially added to the book price. I thus feel that restricting videos access to your Vanishing customers is disrespectful to the others customers that have to pay extra fees for no specific service. Do you intend to continue this policy ?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:If you contact our Support Wizards, (wizards@vanishingincmagic.com) they will take care of you. And while we can understand your desire to save money by purchasing locally, we hope you can understand that, as a business, we aim to give people the best possible experience by buying directly from us. So yes, from time to time there will be incentives to purchase directly from us. But, in this case, if you email our Wizards, we'll take care of you!
David asks: How many videos are available if buying the book from VI?
- 1. Jim responds:You might want to sit down for this. Are you ready? 84. No, that is not a typo. Eighty-four. Even I am impressed!
- 2. David responds:Ok! Thought there would be more, since the book has like 88 moves/effects and the ad mentions it has videos for "everything" :)
HARRY asks: is the champagne production in this book?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It's not. The full contents are listed above. Hope that helps.
Roberto asks: Is the material in this book suited more for the magician who performs seated at a table?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:There is material for both seated & standing performances
Reda Chahi asks: Is it a translation of Vallarino's french book "Melodies", or is it completely different material?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This is a different book with newer material, as well as material that has not been published before.
